A case of acute ischemic duodenal ulcer associated with superior mesenteric artery dissection after transarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma.
We report a case of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)-related acute ischemic duodenal ulcer that developed in association with dissection of the superior mesenteric artery. We conclude that the acute duodenal ulcer was developed by ischemia related to superior mesenteric artery dissection during TACE. TACE should be conducted carefully with continuous observation of abdominal arteries.
